LGBTQ Life Made Social – Bringing the Social Element to LGBTQ Life Worldwide

First global LGBTQ+ streaming network, Revry, makes investing in the queer community a family affair by launching an equity crowdfunding campaign on SeedInvest (https://www.seedinvest.com/revry/seed). Revry’s streaming network brings the queer experience to the world through its diverse mix of films, series, music, podcasts and originals. Revry is committed to inclusion and creating a space for all voices in the LGBTQ+ community to be seen and heard.

“SeedInvest
is excited to be working with such a diverse, passionate team of founders who
are creating something meaningful for a historically marginalized community,”
says SeedInvest’s Alexandra Tynion. “Not only that, but partnering
with SeedInvest gives the company the unique opportunity to give its users and
loyal brand advocates the ability to become investors while it’s still a
private company. This means early investors can support and be a part of the
company’s growth for the long run.”

“We started
Revry because we saw the need for truly authentic entertainment made for the
ever-growing queer community as it is: diverse, outrageous, groundbreaking, and
global,” shares Revry CEO Damian Pelliccione. “In the past, TV
channels and VOD services that claimed to represent queer people tended to
water down our community, often only focusing on gay white males and
superficial stories. Given the size of the LGBTQ+ market ($917
billion in the US and $3.7 trillion worldwide), luckily the new digital age of
TV has created an opportunity to disrupt the old TV model and to introduce new
upstart voices into the mix to redefine niche TV for a new generation.”

Revry aims to be the new voice of queer
entertainment. More than just TV and film, Revry is breaking the mold by
showcasing LGBTQ+ music artists, short films, digital series, and boasting one
of the largest queer podcast networks in the world. More than a simple content
platform for a niche audience, Revry is a community – a lifestyle brand, with a
mission not just to distribute LGBTQ-themed content, but share genuine queer
culture with the world. To that end, Revry is
currently available via 7 native apps, 3 linear channels (Pluto TV, XUMO, and
Zapping TV), expanding into over 100+ countries, with a reach of 35
million, closing hundreds of content contracts totaling over 4000 hours, and
streaming over 21 million minutes to its global audience.

Revry’s target
audiences are those who identify as LGBTQ+ and are primarily millennial and
generation Z (between the ages of 18-35). Currently, 50% of Revry’s core
audiences are located in the U.S. with the other 50% spread out across the
world with their highest international traffic coming from the markets of
Brazil, India, and China.

Since its
launch, Revry’s unique mission, diverse team of founders, and innovative
approach to distribution have been covered by major media outlets
including WIRED Magazine, MacWorld, and The
Hollywood Reporter. This year, Tubefilter stated
“Revry is making its mark in the niche SVOD world” and Instinct
Magazine has written that Revry is “dedicated to showcasing the best
entertainment spanning the breadth of the entire queer experience.”

Revry has
continually paved the way as a leader, not only in the LGBTQ+ space but in
the ever-changing mainstream streaming world. One of the first networks to
stage an exclusive release of an original series through the new
Instagram-powered IGTV app, Revry was featured by TheWrap only
last month. Additionally, Revry’s high profile collaborations with
industry heavy-weights like Funny or Die, with whom Revry co-produced an Emmy
nominated series GAY OF THRONES, have garnered the company significant
mainstream attention. Revry continues to make impressive collaborations
including having recently entering a 2-year deal with the LGBTQ suicide
prevention not-for-profit, The Trevor Project, to be their Official Streaming
Network and exclusive live streaming partner for their star-studded award show,
TrevorLIVE, that just honored industry legend Ryan Murphy amongst others.

Dedicated to their global LGBTQ+ community, Revry saw crowdfunding with
SeedInvest as an opportunity to not only engage but allow the LGBTQ+ community
to be invested in themselves.
